About this audiobook

The Eugenic Marriage unfolds as an exploration into the historical perspectives and practices of eugenics—a now-controversial science that aimed to enhance human genetic quality. Authored by W. Grant Hague, this four-volume work delves into the intricacies of eugenic marriage, offering a personal guide to the principles and practices of better living and better babies. Within its pages, the reader is taken on a journey through the evolving landscape of reproductive health, exploring how past societies perceived and approached the enhancement of genetic traits. Hague's work not only explains the foundations of eugenics but also delves into the complex interplay of genetics, heredity, and societal attitudes towards inferior and superior qualities. The volumes within this collection dissect the concept of eugenic marriage, providing insights into the historical context and arguments surrounding the improvement of genetic stock. The author discusses various diseases affecting children, examining how eugenics was purported to influence the health and vitality of future generations.
